I'm OK to place that under the xwiki-contrib umbrella. Thanks for the contrib link Vincent, I'll try to follow the process :) --G 2011/11/28 Vincent Massol <[email protected]>

Hi all

Some weeks ago, I've been discussing in IRC with Thomas and Vincent about contributing a {{panel}} macro that could be used to replace the old velocity #panelHeader()/#panelFooter() macro...

I've pushed that code into github : https://github.com/sauthieg/xwiki-panel-macro

ATM, it probably has less features than the old velocity stuff, but I'm sure it is a good starting point if you want to move to a Java-based panel macro. The code is tested using the XWiki Test Runner.

So if you're interested in that code, I'll be happy to re-contribute it to XWiki.

Any thoughts ?

Great! Here's what comes up to mind:

1) Either you keep the code in your user on github or we host it in xwiki-contrib: https://github.com/organizations/xwiki-contrib. The advantages of hosting on xwiki-contrib is that you get a wiki, a jira, a maven repository to release it, see http://contrib.xwiki.org + it's closer to the rest of xwiki contribs/extensions . However there's absolutely not reason you couldn't keep it in your github user if you prefer.

2) You can start by publishing what you have on http://extensions.xwiki.org and make it downloadable so that people can start using it/provide feedback

3) Some devs from the xwiki dev team should review what you've done to decide if we want to include it in xwiki-platform. Since 1) and/or 2) (they're separate) are easy to do this point shouldn't be a blocker for them.

Let us know what you'd like to do.

Thanks a lot for contributing back! -Vincent
